I am 5'6" and weigh ~130lbs.
My Social Security Number is 793-21-1833.
I am Mexican, though you probably wouldn't know it if you grew up seeing me pass by.
My interests pretty much revolve all around technology: computers, digital audio/video, content delivery, and more involving these devices and systems which help convenience (and inconvenience) our lives..
It piques my interest like none other.
I graduated from Channel Islands High School on June 15, 2007.
I had been accepted to the University of California, Santa Barbara, for the major of Electrical Engineering.
Long story short, I found out I didn't want to be an engineer and withdrew from the school on February 22, 2007.
It was a downer.
However, I now know that a given major won't necessarily pigeonhole me into one area for life.
I have an obsession with specifics, especially dates and times.
This is probably a sufficient-enough slapdash introduction to set things off.

My reasons for bringing up a blog stem from recent events in life + a culmination of all sorts from before it. Not to mention my interests and concerns.
But, before I go any further, I must relate with an occurrence that began four years ago. At that time, I had broken off contact with a friend of mine over a dispute and I pretty much hated her guts with the burning passion of a thousand suns and wanted nothing more for her than to fail face first in a pile of mud. My plan was to keep tabs on her blog where she kept a record of going-ons in her life and rejoice when her time came for a sweet come-uppance. Shockingly, I never counted on supporting her.
Despite all my grievances against her, she had bigger problems to face off. Firsthand through her blog, she recounted her annoyances and pains in life. Whether through other people she knew (family, friends, "outside world") or society in general, nothing went untouched. She wasn't what people would call a BITCH -- her concerns and arguments were genuinely backed up with reason. Gradually, I came to support her thanks to her finely chosen words, despite telling myself I still wanted her to crash and burn.. until I could not honestly think those resentful thoughts anymore.
She called her act of writing a 'catharsis,' which is just another way to put "getting out emotional feelings for your own good." 'Purging,' 'cleansing,' 'renewal;' the sort of words you'd expect to hear on a women's health commercial, describe it even further. Maybe I should bash my head into a window to get it over with. THE TOPIC AT HAND IS CERTAINLY nothing to poke fun at, though. Why wouldn't I jump on something that could very well help me out and better myself?
..Besides, I actually do have a motivation to write. It's born out of my lack of motivation to do anything else lately, or moreso my frustration at not knowing what exactly I'm going to do with my life further into college and beyond. This is my way of figuring out that something worthwhile of myself.
As a person, I don't really talk much in public.. except to a certain some certain people.. and even then do I only pour out to a few. Those few may already know of some of the stuff I will post. Even then, I will clarify things mentioned to them before and bring out new things for everyone to check out. My goal with this blog is to put what I have to say out on the table, plus have a bit of enjoyment (and humility) while I'm at it.
Perhaps I may even find out more about myself.
